Modal Interaction in the Response of Laminates
A higher-order shear-deformation theory is used to analyze the interaction of two modes in the response of thick laminated rectangular plates to transverse harmonic loads. The case of...
Dynamics of Laminated Plates with Layer Waviness
Composite structures usually exhibit a high strength-to-weight ratio as compared to traditional structural materials. This makes them attractive solutions in many aerospace applications....
Postbuckling Response of Doubly-Curved Shallow Panels Under Complex Loading Conditions
The static postbuckling of laminated doubly-curved shallow panels subjected to the complex action of a system of in-plane compressive edge loads and a transverse pressure field is investigated....
Nonlinear Analysis of Stiffened Laminated Cylindrical Shells Using the Layerwise Theory of Reddy
The layerwise shell theory of Reddy is used to develop the buckling and the postbuckling equations of circular cylindrical shells reinforced by means of axial and ring stiffeners and subject...
Inelastic Response of Metal Matrix Composite Tubes
An analytical method which exactly satisfies the equations of the boundary value problem for the inelastic response of laminated metal matrix composite tubes on a point-wise basis is presented....
Hygrothermal Effects in Composite Sandwich Panels
The macromechanical analysis of a composite panel with laminate facings and a honeycomb core is carried out by taking into account mechanical and hygrothermal loads. In this analysis the...
Late Stage Damage in G30-500/PMR-15 Laminates
Damage progression has been studied experimentally under tension using [02/906]s...
A Self-Balancing Laminate
A self balancing wood laminate has been developed based on the principle of orthotropic elasticity. Lumber is cut into three sections in the flatwise plane and each side member is turned...
Natural Decay Resistance of Glued-Laminated Beams
The natural decay resistance of untreated Douglas-fir heartwood specimens sampled from glued-laminated beams was evaluated using a modified agar plate test modeled after the European Standard...
